Books by Brian Cox

Source & Proof

Ad Astra80% Confidence
I know I have my own book out, and not supposed to be promoting somebody else’s, but @dallascampbell ‘s Ad Astra is very a beautiful book.
Empire of the Clouds80% Confidence
@thestigmaster And I agree with you on this. There is a great book called Empire of the Clouds which describes how we damaged our aviation industry with a series of shortsighted political decisions in the late 60s and 70s.
Cosmos80% Confidence
One of 70 mustread books.

Life Ascending80% Confidence
@StrongLikeBear @ShalanSharma @Dagk Yes, that’s right. I think it’s correct to say that many biologists (not all) believe the step from prokaryote to eukaryote was highly unlikely. See for example Nick Lane’s Life Ascending a great book for many reasons.
The Innovators80% Confidence

Gravity80% Confidence
@rationalist44 (1) is easy there are two components, but for distant galaxies the socalled ‘proper motion’ is negligible. (2) You need a little GR. Look up cosmological redshift. The best intro text book in my view is Hartle the calculation is in section 18.2.
